Leadership is About Lifting Others

FOR COACHES AND PARENTS:  Leadership is about influencing.  How well do we influence behaviors?  How well do we influence others to do better or be better?

All of the knowledge in the world doesn't matter if we can't use that knowledge to lift others.

Its easy to get upset when others don't follow our lead or listen to our well-researched advice.  It is very frustrating when our players and/or kids don't listen when we try to give them the keys to success.

We KNOW what we are talking about.  But, it's not enough to know what to do.  We have to be just as good at communicating what to do and how to do it and why to do it.  We have to be able to give our message in a way that it inspires, motivates, and influences action.

FOR PLAYERS:  Basketball season is here.  If there was no tomorrow, how hard would play today?  Don't leave any drill, any practice, any game, or any season with any regrets.  You only get one shot at being an athlete.  Get the most out of it.  It will be over before you know it.  It goes by fast.
